Ben Howard performs a cover of Carly Rae Jepsen’s track, Call Me Maybe in the Radio 1 Live Lounge.
I hadn’t heard of Ben before stumbling upon this one. A very interesting version and probably a good introduction to the style of this British songwriter.
Oh yeah: has an amazing voice… check it out for yourself. (Bonus points for the bass player for also playing drums. Or the other way around.)
Probably biased a bit by the great looks of a bunch of sparsely-clad ladies, but I really like the way this video was done. Their drummer is one of the busiest people I know. It’s all her fault I’m posting this now…
Oh yeah, the song has a great chorus too… not just eye candy this is. And with 13k+ views in a month it’s not doing too bad either. So go ahead: click&enjoy !
To many, this young singer’s self-titled debut record is reminiscent of Amy Winehouse, but with an added reggae swagger. I had a hard time picking one song, but I think “This World” is a great introduction to her mix of soul, reggae and “organic hip-hop”.
Here’s a link to the FREE iTunes single that was released this week in the US, together with her album. Help her get in the charts ! .
To close off: a link to a very intimate version of a sad but passionate song, “Summertime Bring me Joy“
After a long hiatus San Diego singer songwriter Tristan Prettyman is back !
Again one of those videos I saw at a few hundred views… closing in on 200k one week later !
Josiah and his band are coming back to Lestat’s in San Diego on August 8th.
I got a feeling it will sell out in advance…
